Class Notes 9/6 (recorded by Nick Finerty):

Word of the Day: Euphemism, Automaton

If you’re a good person, how do you demonstrate that? - What you do demonstrates what you believe. Do good things for people you don’t know or the people that you least interact with

Why did Ilsa come back to see Rick? - She wants to clean up their past because both she and Rick couldn’t stop thinking about it - Maybe she loves Rick and just wants to see Rick

Is it possible to love more than one person at a time? - No

The lives of three people don’t add up, say Rick - The movie disagrees with his statement

Do they make the right decision at the end of the movie? - Yes, because she chose to follow her heart

Out of Victor, Rick, and Ilsa.. how many of those people were happy? - 2 (Victor and Rick) - 1 (Rick)
